Open House

The open house will provide members of the public with an opportunity to ask questions of staff, learn about draft ROPA 21B and provide input. Information collected at the open house will be considered by Regional staff in making recommendations to Council on the amendment.

The purpose and effect of the draft ROPA is to consider policy revisions to the Regional Official Plan as it relates to natural heritage and agriculture, and whether these proposed policies conform to all of the current provincial plans, policies and legislation.

Information related to mapping of proposed Core Areas of the Greenlands System will be available for review.

The lands to which the potential Official Plan revisions apply are the entire Region of Peel.

Please note that further to Regional Council direction, policies related to natural heritage and agriculture in ROPA 21 will be brought forward to Regional Council for consideration as ROPA 21B.
